beginning of the Boom,

People in the west try every dodge to
get railroads to run near their property.
A railroad man tells of an instance of
this that recently happened in Kansas.
One day when he was laying out his
road citizen came up and began to
boom his town. 81 have named her
Chicago" he said, land she is bound to
be as big place as the other Chicago,
sometime. You want to run your rail
road through her. 1t will only take
you about six miles out of the direct
line, and the business you will get will
be immense. Besides, you will be the
first in, and will get the best location for
your depots." swell, how big is your
town now?" asked the railroad man.
Not very big yet, but she is boo1nin',
you bet" "How many houses have you
now?" further inquired the railroad
man. swell, to tell the truth, we
haven't any yet, admitted the boomer,
but I'm diggin' a well" - Chicago

Saved Her Life.

Mr. D. l. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
XIV, saws he was, for MANY years badly
afflicted with Pythisic, also Diabetes;
the pains were almost uncomfortable and
would sometimes almost throw him
nto commissions. He tried Electric
Bitters and got relief from the first bot
tie and after taking six bottles, was en-
nrely cured, and had gained in flesh
eighteen pounds. Says he positively
believes he would have died, had it not
been for the relief afforded by Electric
Btters. Sold at fifty cents bottle by

southerners Not snobbish.

The disgusting snobbisness character
izing many Americans, particularly
jewellers in the LAND of Newport, is a
plant indigenous to northern soil only.
The southerners have good reason to
smile and shake themselves by the hand
in self congratulation on their utter
freedom from this pretty but contempti-
BILE failing. They are far more
apt to consider that they honor
even England's royal family by permit
ting an acquaintance with themselves.
And isn't this self-respect and self-es-
TEEN more praiseworthy than ridiculous
trucking and imitation, even if it does
border on eonceit?-New York Graphic.

The British Government VIII Send Olvcr
GunbOats Next Spring.
TORONTO ONT., Jan. 31.-The Ottawa correspond
ent OF the Mail says: yesterday the announce
ment was made that the imperial governmentIhad
consented to send men-of-war out next seasdn to
assist In the protection OF the Canadian fShef1es
To the people of the United States doubtless this
Will be anything but palatable information. but,
as matter OF fact 1t Is simply following the kpre
cedent established before the Washington treaty
came into operation. A prominent oft1cial, onl be-
Ing nterrogated as to the correctness OF thel re-
port, said:
.. 1t is true that the imperial authorities Have
consented to send out one or two gunbOatS next
spring to assist the marine police In the enfdrce-
ment OF our fishery rights
Some time ago. he said, IAN understanding
was arrived at with the home authorities that the
usual assistance should be given. The reason why
ala was not rendered last season was due tOl the
long correspondence which had taken place be-
tween Canada and England, and to the fact that
by the time the imperial authorities
ing season had expired | pointed oua to
this gentleman the special cable appearing inl the
Maj, In which the under foreign secretary ihad
Deen made to say that the Canadian cabinet had
made q proposition which, from the nberaliuy of
It's character Is likely TO contribute to settle
ment OF the dispute II from this the inference is
TO be drawn that the Dominion government has
receded from the position it has taken all along
TO It's rights based on the treaty of 1873 thereI1s
mistake somewhere. / have 1t On good authority
that the government still adheres to the polify 1t

A telegram from Syracuse, My, January 3Oth,
says: There Is romance about Mary Anderson,

before her first visit to England, they were re-
ported as engaged, a statement which was subse-
Quently denied.
When MI Riddle was rehding midsummer
Nights Dream" at the METROPOLITAN Opera House
two ladies' whose names areI known throughout
the land as leaders in New York society, sat in a
box, and through their unglhrded words over
heard by Syracuse gentleman, also a friend Of
Mr.. Riddle, this little story leaked out: One OF the
ladies was friend OF Mr.. riddle. and he had told
her OF his love for Miss Anderson. When
the other lady spoke of some OF the sad
expressions OF Mr.. Riddles face, and wondered IL
he had ever loved woman And suffered through
her, her friend said Mr.. Riddle had long loved the
fair Mary, and that she felt Nor him a warm and
deep friendship, but when he offered her his hand
in marriage the difference i their religious views
Miss Anderson being Roman Catholic, was an
obstacle that she could mott bring herself to sur
mount, and so she declined Mr.. Riddles offer.
They have ever since been good friends. however
Mr.. Riddle is always the last to say gOOdby when
Miss Anderson goes to the did country and the first
to welcome her on her return, and in his will he
has beQueathed to her his choicest treaSure-a
locket designed by Robert Browning, enclosing q
lock OF the hair Of the great Mrs. SiddOns.
